Whether you are asking for yourself or for someone you love, it is a fair question. You should be able to understand what treatment may cost, what is included, and what you are paying for before making any decision.
Private rehab pricing is not always presented in a consistent way. Some centres publish ranges. Others give a figure only after an enquiry. Some include detox within residential treatment, while others charge for it separately.
Some services are fully residential, while others provide daytime treatment with accommodation arranged separately. That lack of standardisation can make comparison difficult when you are already trying to make a hard decision.
This page explains what rehab costs in the UK, what affects the fee, what the cost covers at Abbington House, and what to look out for when comparing providers.
How much doesprivate rehabcost in the UK?
There is no single price for rehab, because there is no single kind of private treatment. What you pay depends mostly on the level of support, whether accommodation is included, whether detox is needed, and whether treatment is outpatient, quasi-residential or fully residential.
The sections below explain the main private treatment options and why their costs differ.
Private Outpatient
£50 – £150avg.
Private outpatient treatment is usually charged per session, commonly in the region of £50 to £150 per session, depending on the therapist, service and level of support.
Outpatient treatment usually means attending appointments while continuing to live at home. It can cost less overall, but it may not suit someone who needs detox, time away from home, or more structured daily support.
- Per-session pricing model
- Live at home
- Not ideal for detox
Private Quasi-Residential
£6000 – £8000avg.
Quasi-residential rehab may cost around £6,000 to £8,000 for 28 days, but the lower fee usually reflects a different treatment model.
Quasi-residential treatment is not fully residential. Treatment usually takes place during the day, while accommodation is arranged separately, and meals and overnight support are not normally included in the headline fee.
- Day treatment
- Accommodation arranged separately
- Meals not included
Fully Residential
£12000 – £16000avg.
Fully residential rehab commonly sits between £12,000 and £16,000 for 28 days, although some luxury and specialist centres charge more.
Fully residential treatment means staying in the treatment setting itself, with accommodation, meals, therapy, daily structure and support included as part of the same stay. This is the model used at Abbington House.
- 24/7 on-site support
- Meals & accommodation included
- Round-the-clock care
What treatment costs at Abbington House
The cost of treatment at Abbington House is

“The fee is the same whether someone is coming in for alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or both. Clinical needs still shape the treatment itself, particularly whether detox is needed, but they do not change the agreed cost of the stay.
Because the fee is fixed, people know from the outset what treatment will cost and what is included, rather than being quoted one figure and charged more as treatment goes on.”
